I am not an anti-vaxxer. I am against government mandates. You are making a grave error if you are calling me an anti-vaxxer. It's lazy thinking.

That being said, there are valid concerns to be had when it comes to this vaccine. More and more doctors, virologists, and biologists are speaking out about this. Listen to JRE 1747, for example. However, these are not my main concerns.

My main concern is that we are sleepwalking into a form of authoritarianism that will be virtually impossible to dismantle. Once established, there is no escape. No possibility to break free.

"If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—forever."

We truly are sleepwalking. The most coherent exposé of what is currently happening on a psychological level was done by Mattias Desmet.

Everyone should listen to this interview. Everyone.

I still don't care about your vaccination status, and you shouldn't care about mine.

I do care about a full-blown attack on essential liberties. Liberties that brought freedom and prosperity. And if you want to reduce harm and suffering, you should too.

If you want to see where we are currently heading, look at China.

Total surveillance. Total control. Social credit score for absolutely everything. One wrong move, and you will be deleted from society by the press of a button, literally.

To everyone who is telling me to stick to Bitcoin: I am.

Bitcoin, to me, is freedom. It is free speech money. It puts the individual in the center. It puts the responsibility on the individual, without the use of force. It is non-violent. It bottom-up, not top-down.

Vaccine mandates, censorship, putting the group above the individual, and removing responsibility from the individual is in direct opposition to all of that.

Also: I will tweet about whatever the fuck I want, thank you.

I will continue to speak out, as I have in the past.

Here is a thread on passports from 2019.

Here is one on privacy, from a few months before:

One more for good measure:

I always cared about these things. If you didn't know this, you just weren't paying attention.

Pay attention. These things are important.

Forcing vaccination passports on 100% of the population is 5 steps too far, and a terrible idea. I will not participate in this totalitarian regime, no matter what.

I will not get the QR code.

If that means that I will have to leave the country, leave the EU, or leave western society, so be it. I have no interest in participating in a society that treats its citizens like that.

The only way I will get this QR code is if they forcefully tattoo it on my skin in prison.

Unfortunately, most people do not share my concerns, because they want to be left alone, or are willing to sacrifice liberty for the greater good.

"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

I choose Liberty.
I choose #Bitcoin
